Ecology of Caspiomyzon graecus
 
Main Ref. Renaud, C.B. and P.S. Economidis, 2010
Remarks The species spends its entire life cycle in fresh water and appears to be quite sedentary, based on the capture of all three stages of its life history (i.e., ammocoete, metamorphosing ammocoete and immature adult) at one locality in mid-November. The habitat is characterized by clear, fastflowing water and muddy substrate in which the larvae bury. The substrate may or may not include submerged vegetation (Ref. 84195).
